Suarez .................. utter disgrace?

[Deleted Member 1156]

Really? As bad as Suarez? I'll give you John Terry ........................ name the others.

Get real slime, the game is full of prima donnas that think they can do whatever they want, on and off the pitch.

How about Diouf (spitting) Barton (stubbing a cigar into someone's eye) Balotelli (threw darts at a youth player) Tevez (absconding) Marlon King (drink driving, theft, headbutting, sexual assualt) Cantona (assualting a fan).......is that enough to keep you going??

If you want more, there are literally dozens that have been charged with assaulting women.

guest100718, when Suarez was an Ajax player, it is generally agreed that it was a close thing between Liverpool and Spurs.

Parking the "is he a rascist/isn't he" on one side, for once.

He had already been banned in Holland for biting another player, and the Ghana incident had already happened.I don't remember any massive uproar, burning of Suarez effigies on the seven sisters, pictures of spurs fans threatening to rip up their season tickets in the papers.

Ok people don't like Suarez as a person, neither do lots of Liverpool fans actually, but as a football and LFC fan, he is sublime and a genius on the football field. Don't like him as a rival, fair enough. does it make it right to excuse and bend the rules to suit who someone kicks? Some people have said the Mirallas's and the Spurs player's nipple high challenge wasn't a red. Why? cos it's Suarez, I tell thee.

But spare me the "holier than thou" claptrap about people ripping up season tickets/stopping going if he was their player.

If Arsenal had signed him and they were 10 points clear of anyone, would most of them conveniently forget (or forgive) about past misdemeanours...bloody right they would.

In the 1970's/1980-1990's do you think none of your teams players ever racially abused a fellow player, did you take to task the thousands of "singers" in kops and ends up and down the country for their rascist songs. Did you stop going to the matches then?

and no doubt a load more to be done for match fixing.

The songs in the stands in years gone by , well I was in the home end at Bournemouth when we played Portsmouth in a friendly a few years ago and they were giving Noel Blake the pompey centreback some monkey chants and he did not like it and walk towards the stands to seek out these guys and they moved pretty quick to get out of there, glad it is more of a rare event these days an not the norm as in those days and you are right about suarez , if he is in your team and playing like he is who cares about his past ....................EYG

I'm also glad those days are behind us, I remember being in the Kop in 1987 and watford's black players (John Barnes amongst them who was linked with us) were getting it in the neck, I was taking the pee out of my mates who were joining in.

The following season he was their hero.

Footy fans are the same the world over, on this subject. Luis Figo. Nuff said.

Good answer.
I'll take that one on the chin, not literally of course, and accept and admit the fact that I was wrong and you were right in this instance.
My apologies to drive4show.

P.S. By the way .................. you forgot to mention Ashley Cole shooting a work experience student with an air rifle.

Always wondered about that. Who the hell takes an air rifle to work? He's 30 odd years old for crying out loud.If he'd done that at school he would have been expelled. Do it as a footballer on a million a month and you can keep your job, no problem.
Sums it all up really. Personally, I wouldn't employ any of them.

 

[bluewolf]

You would if your job was to win football games.. And YOUR job depended on it..

Okay then.

Ashley Cole .......................... utter disgrace?

Discuss.

Hang on, we'd better not go there, Suarez has attracted 250 posts and Ashley Cole probably divides opinion nearly as much despite the fact that there's no evidence of attempted cannibalism .

Yeah, but he messed Cheryl around, obviously insane

Maybe in body - nearer 10 in mind........oo:

 

[hovis]

Gone down in a twirly, spinny, leapy around type motion with a shattered sternum and multiple broken ribs to get Paulinho sent off!
He was so badly hurt that he actually limped off for treatment before coming back on as if nothing had happened to score his second goal.
Apart from that, not much.

Slime.

So like any other premier league football player then! Stick em on a rugby pitch for 30 minutes. That'll show them

No.

Just a better judge than I thought. Cheryl Cole, really???

 

[Sweep]

No, I wouldn't. And if every club / manager did the same they would all start behaving like adults.
If you don't believe me, try taking an air rifle to work and shooting a junior collegue with it and see how long you keep your job.

How is what I do at work even remotely related to how a professional footballer is treated?

No matter how hard you wish for it, football won't become a social utopia, where everyone behaves like responsible adults and bad behaviour is universally frowned upon. The money is too big.

Marlon King was a Wigan player when he was convicted of assaulting a woman. We had payed a lot of money for him. Dave Whelan summarily sacked him. We wrote off a sizeable sum of money. Once he was released from prison, he was almost immediately signed up by Coventry, before signing for Birmingham.
The moral? If you can improve a team, you can get away with almost anything. Except being gay obviously. That appears to be a career killer.

But thankfully there are exceptions to this rule,

[Stuey01]

I'm an Arsenal fan, and I breathed a big sigh of relief when we failed to sign him this summer. A great player he may be, but I would rather not see him in an Arsenal shirt and his performances this year do not change my view on that.

 

[Fish]

All this talk of Liverpool having SAS in their forward line, that's nothing Tottenham have LOL in midfield and WTF in defence :rofl:
